| Obverse description | Central design features a view of the Represa '9 de Febrero de 1973' hydroelectric dam, rendered in low relief against a plain field. The abbreviated country name 'URUGUAY' arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination 'N$ 500' appears along the lower periphery. The dam, constructed during Uruguay's military government period and subsequently renamed 'Constitucion' (popularly known as Represa de Palmar) following the restoration of democracy, is depicted in a stylized architectural elevation. The overall composition is unadorned, with lettering in upright Latin characters. |
